Tebow is 9 / 17 so far? I guess the joke that he'll never be above 50% can finally die.

watermelon.seriously though, what happened to Deadlift, one wonders.
We're all wondering about that. Deadlift, do you still think Tom Brady is finished? Have you seen the box score of today's game?

A good coach would throw in some different looks to the option game. The Broncos use only that one play and it's never any different.
thats why these types of offenses never last in the NFL, no coach is commited to running it and don't make adjustments, so when it stops working instead of making an adjustment they go back to what they are familiar with.

I see Chad Hall made a 16 yard catch in the waning minutes for the Eagles. Another under-utilized White skill position player, thanks to the caste system.

Denver D "mailing it in" in overtime. San Diego driving.
You are still criticizing Denver's D? They have held SD to 13 pts and played a reasonable game. Would anything short of a shutout make you happy?

Tebow never gets credit for winning the game in a single drive at the end of the game. He just gets criticized for his numbers for 3 quarters.
So I'm not going to credit Denver's defense for anything if they give up a game-winning drive on the last series of the game, even if they held the opponent to 0 yards up until that point.

Fortunately, that bad third down play made the difference in that FG kick. Denver still alive.

Since I'm on a roll, I've got another diss of a Denver afflete.

Willis McGahee is old and slow. The only reason he has any success is because all eyes are ALWAYS on Tebow.


This is fun.

I just think proper perspective is in order here. Tebow deserves a great deal of credit for all the 4th quarter comebacks, but so does the D for keeping the game close and making the comeback possible. I never pay attention to those idiot critics about Tebow's numbers because a good part of that is dumb play calling by Fox. And Tebow does it again!!!

Congrats to Tim Tebow for leading his team to victory again! I hope Elway will get over himself and embrace Tebow at some point in the future. Time will tell.

What does that make Tebow now, 5-1? What was the Broncos record in the last two years before Tebow? Something like 4 - 28?

Yeah, a new QB will solve all their problems.

Did any camera manage to get a shot of Elway's reaction?
I'm curious.

Yeah, there were several shots of him. He was all smiles and clapping.

I saw a quick shot of him in full horse face smile.

I've never liked that dig at him, but he's been such a mangina when it comes to Tebow that it's appropriate here.

Yes, McGahee should thank Tebow for reviving his career, it this is the best he has looked in years, the average fan doesn't notice the huge gaping holes.
